Although Valentines Day has come and gone I thought I would add this little Valentines adventure. Yes, cookie making! A dangerous undertaking with a not quite 11/2 year old, and....icing. Oh the ups and downs of sugar highs. So on we go with our tale.
Like most heroic endeavours, it began with an idea..."hey, lets make some Valentines cookies" thought the over ambitious mother of an over energetic little boy. He thought it was a good idea too. Really who can blame him. The combination of getting really messy, playing in dough and eating sugar is too much of a temptation for a little kid. There really is no question here.
Being a of the fairly creative sort (and needing a little water to tone down the sugar intake) the main character of our story bravely mixes the dough into his cup and partakes in his newly invented beverage...unbaked cookie water. Mmmmm.
"Cheers!"
Onto cleanup time (almost as fun as making cookies). Water, water everywhere...at least the dishes got done, the floor moped, the walls washed, the counters cleaned and the cupboards wiped down. A little more than mom was bargaining for but by now she was in survival mode so a little mopping really didn't make a difference. I'm not even sure she really remembered it.
Time for bed. The cookies are baked and we'll leave the rest of the icing for another day's sugar high. Meshach slept well that night (once his mother got him to bed that is).The End
